MK Dons vs Mansfield (aka L2 Playoff Final 1)

[Conker]

Yup, and have been for most of the second half of the season.

We're still without Moore-Taylor, Cargill, Baudry and Gilbey for definite whilst Walsh and Williams are doubtful. All of those are defensive players (apart from Gilbey) and five of those six would be guaranteed starters for us.

We have the same excuse, endless list of long term injuries.

 

[Franchisor]

From looking at the stadium plan I reckon we've sold close to 9.5k so far (incl. ST holders) and Mansfield have sold around 2.9k so probably just past 12k overall with 5 days left.

 

[Stringy]

It'll be a shame to have so many empty seats even with a decent crowd. As of this morning we have about 1.4k tickets left to sell. I'm assuming we'll just be able to get more/pay on the day if we sell out?

Still plenty of time left. If you sell out the 4k allocation in the next couple of days you'll probably get an extra 500, and if not there will be pay on the day anyway.

Stadium holds 30k (realistically 28-29k with segregation) and I reckon it'll be around 17k-18k on the day including Mansfield fans. It'll basically just be the top tier empty, but all of the bottom tier will be practically sold out.

 

[Lborostag]

Wonder if MK fans will become as obsessive as County fans about this away following being 'more than they get at home'.

First goal will be vital if 18K turn up, it will silence either side of the support.

We’ve gone past the 3,000 mark

 

[Franchisor]

MK have just announced an offer for ST holders to get an extra ticket for free. Not sure why, they were selling nicely judging by availability, looked like we were past the 10.5k mark ourselves.

Dont tell vikring or enzo ,they think we only travel to notts ,they used to be in the football league you know

 

[Dean]

Imagine being at this game as a neutral. Hoping after tomorrow we’ll still be in with a shout and I’ll be following closely. To be honest even if we don’t win tomorrow I’ll be glued to my phone following this. Anyone remember Brentford v Doncaster 2013?

That accounts for about 76% of the fans that decide to turn up to Field Mill

It’s a huge game so bound to be a big turnout . Be warned there is no Hooters near the stadium !

 

[Conker]

Pretty much every big away following this season we have properly bottled it haven’t we?

 

[Richard Cranium]

I'm shitting myself ahead of this one. Would it be acceptable to start the pre match drinking now?

You could drop several bandits if you started right away

I'm going for a Stags win. We are due one, MK will need to win and I think that will leave holes for Walker and the pace of Hamilton to exploit the makeshift MK Dons defence.

That’s me. And I won another £40 on that machine before he’d even got in.

Could get married to that machine!

I’m going to Warrington vs Nantwich tomorrow to take my mind off it

There's probably a bloke in there Monday to Friday fuming as it never drops. I've seen people really lose their rag with those bandits. When I worked in a pub close to full time I noticed I was able to predict roughly when it was going to drop.

That was the craziest end to a game I think I've seen. Madness.

This game is massive. If we win tomorrow, I'm obviously hoping for a draw though!

One of my best mates follows them so go often, he reckons might be going to you

must admit it was the first time i heard of him today , maybe we have a chance with the connection with his dad . his dad was fast and to be fair scored some crucial goals for us a while back , swa swa

I've never seen one pay out as often as this one. Thankfully I don't know how to use them,Bet 365 sees enough of my wages as it is.

Neither do I. I don't know how people learn to play either because surely learning to play it involves losing money and then you're behind from the beginning.

How does this work? Is the free ticket just in a random place in the ground as surely people would want the extra ticket next to the season ticket which is not always possible?

 

[birkenhead tranny]

i watched 2 frail pensioners crossing the road last night . they look bewildered and lost , there confidence was shot holding onto one an other , they could hear a roar from behind , they could not make up there minds to sprint to safety or run back to the safety of the play offs . be kind to manny and mick yes the roar was from the swa swa

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Are you sure the afraid pensioners hadn’t just watched game of thrones ? Probably bailed after the opening scene.

Nope, no irony contained in that post about obsessive behaviour or crowds

Yeah fair point, not sure how it works - think they can choose any free seat in the cheaper areas. As you say, many ST holders will already be next to another ST holder. A lot of people had already bought tickets for others before this offer was launched yesterday, so a few annoyed about that and asking for refunds in order to get the ticket for free. Really wasn't needed to be honest, and a bit late.

Bit bizarre to be chucking out free tickets for this isn't it?
